Easton Area School District keeping up fight against open records

View full sizeExpress-Times Photo | BILL ADAMSTeachers, students and parents rally about proposed faculty cuts and athletic cuts in the Easton Area School District in this April 2010 file photo. Again this year, staff cuts and reductions to athletic programs are under consideration as the school board works on a proposed budget.

Insanity.

They say it’s doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

The district eventually will run out of appeal options and relinquish the records into the light of public scrutiny. But not before griping about the man-hours required and the costs associated with producing them — costs that won’t come close to the legal bills racked up in fighting public disclosure.

Even the appellate court is showing frustration with Easton Area’s antipathy.

The court rejected the district’s argument that if The Express-Times’ request is deemed specific (it was, again) the district should be able to review the records again and make more objections.
